In my opinion I am using Damage Control 3.5 Final... but you have to fully rooted (have unlocked your NAND) for this ROM to install. So if you used toast's method to ROOT you should be fine. I have excellent battery life and havent had any problems witht this ROM. Wifi tether works (I used it yesterday to jailbreak an iPad at bestbuy).
I'm defiantly full nand unlocked.does that rom have sense installed? I use launcher pro. Also hows your ram on that one? On fresh typically have about 175-200 free.

Yes it does have Sense.. .and Internal Phone storeage is about 300MB before I installed all of my apps...
I use CyanogenMod, the nightly builds (it's gotten a lot faster than RC1 since a few days ago).
Personally there are some aspects of Sense I miss... Mostly the text select for copy/paste, since vanilla Android's implementation sucks, but overall I prefer CyanogenMod more, hands-down. Also, I trend to average around 180-200MB free RAM.
As far as I know, if you don't want any trace of Sense on your phone, CyanogenMod is your only real choice, since it is built from the ground up on Android's sourcecode.
But with any other ROM, Sense can be disabled.
The two I'd recommend would be CyanogenMod or Baked Snacks. I haven't tried Damaged Goods though... I'll have to try it out.
Oh, and just so you know, CyanogenMod currently doesn't have 4G, if that matters to you.

for DC 3.5 you can very easily Ban sense in DCONFIG if you dont want it. I ban all sprint apps, sense, and launcher in the config so that all i am left with is launcher pro.
This lets me have my 4g, hdmi, fm radio. Still lets me have 2.2 and gets rid of sense. plus DC is an amazing rom anyway.
Can i get the 60 fps mod on stock rooted 2.2?

What?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Idk if there is a 60 fps mod but there is one to break through the 30 fps barrier. I would guess the average fps of a custom rom found on these forums to be about 50 fps.
Highest I've ever got was 56 fps.. Anywhere in 50 is plenty I don't see lag anywhere.

What rom/kernal did you use to achieve 56? I've tried several different rom and Kernal combinations but they all seem to stay at 54. Im not a weirdo about fps, just curious.

Nets and kings kernels for Sense will definitely get around 50fps and the stock CM6 kernel and Snap kernels deliver the same.. I usually get 53 and I'm using CM6 with Snap v8.2 kernel.

Quickest kernel? nets or kings are both extremely fast.
Rom? Probably anything stripped of sense, or CM6 for example.
You probably have a novatech display, from what I understand the FPS fix has to set it at 54 instead of 60 in order to work right. I think Epson's may be able to get a few extra FPS but not enough to make a difference.
Sorry guys if this is a bumped thread.. Couldn't find one that helped me at all.
Alright, I would like to know, What is a kernal. Ive flashed almost every rom possible but i havn't done anything with kernals.
Thanks

I've heard it stated as "a bridge between hardware and software." They control your processor speed for certain circumstances (screen off) and what voltage your processor gets at certain speeds. It can also come with different things like audio boost and enhanced multitouch capabilities (3+ finger input). Just remember to flash a sense kernel if you're on a sense or senseless ROM, or an aosp kernel for an aosp ROM. I always wipe dalvik cache and cache partition before installing a kernel, just to make sure theres going to be no problems.

Correct, there are some overclocked kernels and some that are stock speeds, plus all of the different tweaks that can be applied. And CM7 RC2 is a ROM. CyanogenMod (ROM name) 7 (version) RC2 (release candidate). Its a pretty popular ROM.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7 RC2.
Lmao no man, im running cm7, love it to death. What is CM7, aosp ? I know its senseless.
So not to jack your thread but its highly related to the question I've been asking today. I understand the description of a kernel above but then what would be the main differences between the kernel and the Rom of a device? Are kernels simply used to modify aspects of the phone such as processor speeds or do they also have something to do with the UI?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I dont think they have any effect on the UI
So besides just processor speed,what else could a different kernel affect?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
CM7 is AOSP.
Kernels don't affect the UI, they control processor speed mainly, but they can also come with patches that boost audio levels and enable fast charging or trickle-charge (SBC [when you charge your phone normally, it gets to 100% then stops charging regardless of being plugged in and runs off of the battery power til about 90% ish resulting in the infamous dropping 10% battery in like 5 minutes scenario. This mod enables the phone to drop its charging current once it hits 100% instead of turning off completely, maintaining the battery at 100%.]). Pretty nifty stuff

I'm not exactly sure about the BEST, cause different things happen to people when using the same kernel, but I've been using chads incredikernel from 3/18/11. No problems with it so far.

I heard that kernel had smartsss governor ? What's that do .
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Yep, it does. I'm not too familiar with what it does, but I've heard it basically favors lower CPU speeds, saving you some extra battery life. I've yet to notice any lag or slowness from running that governor. I get pretty good battery life with this kernel too, so I figured I'd stick with it.

Would calling a phone a car chassis, a ROM the motor and a kernal the driver be a good analogy?
I'm a noob, so feel free to set me straight. I have tried several of the custom roms and while I enjoy certain aspects (speed, UI, themes, etc.), they all have small quirks or seem incomplete. My question is: Is anyone working on a Supersonic based Rom with a Sense 3.0 experience while fully functional (hdmi, camera,)?

Yes there are several roms actually Like AllianceROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120734

And all are still being supported
All of these roms are fantastic but I prefer synergy then kingdom roms
Battery life might be awful but give it 2 days and the battery life will settle in...
Later there will be custom kernels to increase battery life so much but htc hasnt released their kernel source yet
I've tried them and they have great a great feel. I don't understand why Netflix and Hulu is such a priority w/o working hdmi. Cart before the horse.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
hdmi will come soon. once htc releases the kernel source, somebody will put in HDMwIn mods into the kernel, and you can use the HDMwIn app with it. so that's where hdmi will come from.
same with battery life. havs, smartass, undervolting, and sbc will all come once htc releases the source.
btw: flash synergy. flash the 3.0 carousel rosie in the same recovery session. laugh in the face of danger.
I like Alliance a lot, but I'm back to stock rooted again. Synergy had some issues but not bad. I even tried team xron's 3d port, but it has some serious compatibility issues.

Battery life is awful= failed statment. The battery life is by no means awful on Synergy. I have consistently gotten a full day on heavy usage. Synergy is probably the best rom I have used on the EVO.

seems to me that if your base supports hdmi, adding a sense 3.0 UI would not be an issue. I thought most of the developers were using a shift base. I guess if it were easy someone would have a fully functional Rom by now.

bcuz shift has gingerbread and sense 2.1 now (luckyyyy). doing it that way was easier than porting a sense 3.0 rom, and we got 4g right off the bat. but it's still a sense 3.0 rom in everything except base and rosie apk (and you can always flash a sense 3.0 rosie)

This is not a total true statment. It's very close though. Off the top of my head mail application, additional widgets and additional options are some of the missing items that will never be in a hybrid because it is just to much trouble for not enough gain.

ok thanks i didn't kno this. i wonder what other options there are.....
i've found that virus rom is probably the best if you are used to sense and want all the functions with all the stability. flashed different releases on 2 differents evos and both superior to stock sense and no noticeable issues. - always did full wipe with amon ra. (although i personally stick to AOSP, EVO Deck Gingerbread 1.2 specifically... i flash sense if its a new rom or if i need dialer) there's my 2 cents
If I were to restore to my stock backup, and tell it to update, will it take my root? I'm kinda thinking about unrooting, just cuz I'd like to go back to stock..... I think. Someone please tell me what will/might happen if I tell it to take the update.
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
Why not just download a rooted stock rom? Going back to stock if you unroot gains nothing. Unless you are taking the phone back.
Ok. I was kinda wanting to also make sure it was faster and I could freeze stuff if I needed to. I was using skyraider yesterday, but my speed went way down. But I also think it could've been due to the mods I was using.
Also,what is the fastest sense based ROM? Like uses least amount of RAM and CPU. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Stock Rom is definately not faster than custom roms its packed with bloat. I've been using bamf forever seems pretty fast to me

If you are already rooted you can install RMK 2.3.4 build which is official and fast and debloated. Buy titanium backup and freeze what you don't want.

Any other sense 2.1/3 or even a 2.1/3.5 mix would be sick. Being able to hide icons on the lockscreen and ditch pages. Can someone mix those, or is that too hard?
